Hey CJ! The crappie are alive and well.. and BIG 😳. It’s tempting to take a couple home for sandwiches 🥪 but, catching them is more fun than eating them.. Thanks for watching!! Willie
Hi Willie, great video. 23 fish in 2hr., they loved the bait and the determination of the fisherman. 😊 The rods and reels did just fine. The only thing I heard, was that your thumb was ripped up. I could imagine that. My goodness, you did a lot of casting out there. Very few times you didn't reel in a fish. You took the Blue Monkey. I'm sure you made it happy. Nice cool breeze, hitting its fenders. 😅 I enjoyed seeing it out of the garage. Tell all Hi and meow. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤❤❤❤❤
Howdy Skye🤠, That was an incredibly fun day!! Fishing, Monkey riding, and old Chinese reels.. The crappie were just wearing me and my thumb out!! But most of all, getting one of the monkeys out for a ride was just a feeling I can’t explain. I love it.. Almost more than fishing.. The Monkey doesn’t ask for anything, it just wants to take you were you need to go and explore. There’s going to be a lot more of that coming up. A lot more freedom videos and less frustration.. Thanks for watching!! Everyone says Hi Skye and Meow🐈⬛.. Willie
Well, the Deluxe has nice quiet gears from the help of the ball bearings. The 45th Anniversary really liked to growl at those crappies. Wish the crappies were biting here in Minnesota. Seems like we're waiting forever again this year for the crappie bite to start. Nice bunch of crappies, Willie!
Hey Dan! Yep, the Deluxe was ok but neither reel were in in perfect shape. They were both Frankensteined together from spare parts. Gary built the Deluxe just so I’d have something to dissect and see how it works and looks inside. Not sure he thought it was gonna be tortured for a season😂. The 45th anniversary however was the best of the parts I had and aside from the occasional line tangles during casting, I’d rather used it. Maybe one day I’ll roll into a flea market or an antique store and find one of those US made Deluxes.. 🤞🏼
Goodmorning willy great to see you had a great day of fishing I went out yesterday it was cold and windy I tried 3 new spots didn't catch anything going back out today love to you and yours frome paul in p.a
Howdy Paul, Yes the weather has been extremely unpredictable and the wind, just ridiculous. But the time will come where it’s gonna be so hot, we’ll be wishing it were cold again. lol Thanks for watching Paul!! Willie
Wow, Willie, that was one heck of day of fishing, or should I say catching! Great video, take care and be safe!

What a great video! That was some crazy good fishing.
They were definitely in the “On Position”… I was having a blast!!
Now you see what that 45th anniversary can do!!
Man, what a day! Loved this one buddy! You definitely caught that crappie bite window.
🤠Yes Sir!! They were hot!
That’s what those reels needed… a good workout!!
@@TheGraytOutdoors Couldn't agree more!!!
@@TimHaunFishing But of course, if I had more expensive equipment, I may be a better fisherman🤣🤣
